In my previous version, Adobe Reader X, the menu bar had a tab for setting the font size to any % desired. I don't see that anywhere on this new version.

Hi sambusac,

Go to View-> Show/Hide-> Page Controls-> Uncheck 'Undock' and the option above should be 'Hide Page Controls'. Please refer the following Image :

If you want to change font size while you are editing the file :

You can do so by clicking on the Edit PDF option on the right hand side pane and then you can choose font size under Format options.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Rahul

None of the above given solutions seems to be working here.

Maybe it is worth noting:

They don't work for me either, but I think that's because Editing(changing font size) a pdf in adobe is a feature that you have to pay for. And I'm only running the free version and features of Adobe.

That does it, thanks so much! (Why in the world is the default setting

set so as to hide this adjustment??)

Hey Karen,

You can change the Font &  Font size of the text & comments in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Open Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to Edit menu-> Preferences.

Select Commenting under Categories & change the font & font size.

Aadesh

Nothing changed! I have trouble reading the characters on the page, and

what the whole thing to be bigger, with bigger characters. I tried changing

the font size from 10 to 18, but the display was unchanged.

Help!
